Summer Camping Build A Scene Card - Spellbinders/ FSJ Fun Stampers Journey

Do you know an adventure seeker?  Maybe you are an adventure seeker.  I'm not terribly adventurous - for me, trying a new black ink is living large and wild.  Right???

BUT my son is a true adventurer living/working in the mountains of Colorado.  This stamp set was made for him. It's completely irresistible and brand new!  

Introducing Fun Stampers Journey Summer Build-A-Scene ATS Stamp Set - with detailed stamps that cover camping, to fishing and even toasting marshmallows over the camp fire. 

This was stamped on watercolor paper  using Fun Stampers Journey'sBlack Licorice True Color Ink Pad.  I love this ink because it has dark rich pigmentation that does not bleed.  It produces crisp, and clear images that "play nice" with watercolors and other inks.  

The sky, tent and the grass were blended with a variety of Fun Stampers Journey True Color Fusion inks and blending brushes. The  smaller details were filled in with simple watercolor paints and a water brush.  

Here is a close up of the card.  

The marshmallows on sticks are perfect.   

A few finishing touches; 

My card is dimensional.  You can see it in the image below.  

By dimensional, I mean the jeep, fire and tent have a second layer that was fussy cut and popped out with foam tape.  

The starry sky was created by lightly splattering white acrylic paint with a fan brush. 

Warning:  be sure to cover the rest of the card if you decide to splatter paint AFTER the card is assembled and done.  

Need even more adventure in your life?  Check out the other FSJ Happy Place "build a scene" stamps  for the amusement park and the swimming pool.   Totally adorable.

Stars, Moon and Constellations Cards using Artist Trading Coins

Today it's all about the moon and stars.  I'm presenting some cosmic cards today to kick off the April's monthly challenge at Creative Embellishments.  

These cards feature some of the coolest, most unique chipboard Artist Trading Coins on the market - designed by Creative Embellishments.  I love them because they are perfect for my needs -card making.  

I used the following chipboard pieces embossed with Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Powder: 

Creative Embellishments -Baby Artist Trading Coins

Creative Embellishments - Shape Artist Trading Coins

Creative Embellishments - Constellations

This is the image for the Creative Embellishments April Challenge.  It's earthy, artistic and mysterious.  It conjures thoughts of both the heavens and nature.    

The twist was to incorporate wood into the project.  I played it safe and used wood grain background paper on my cards.  

This was created as a birthday card for my dad.  He is a woodworker.  He loves nothing more than to putter in his workshop and create.  I guess I am definitely my dad's daughter because I like to putter and create in my craft space.   I got the creative gene from dad.

The constellations are important to him because they are a frequent recurring theme in his dreams signifying heaven and a visual place where he can look up and think of family members that have passed.  

The images below were from a recent project we worked on together.  

 The sentiment stamp used on the card is from Spellbinders/ FSJ ( Inside & Out Stamp Set) and is stamped using a rich brown ink also from Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey called Cocoa Powder True Color Fusion Ink . 

 If you'd like to really make the stamp pop, then immediately cover the ink with clear embossing powder to heat set.  The clear embossing and heat setting seals the ink and gives a nice smooth sheen to the stamp making it pop a bit.
